I have a question about this new pope |
|
Here in the U.S. we have had much scandal with the Catholic church. Many Catholic people have said they have lost their faith. So is it smart, with the U.S history with the name Benedict, to pick that name?

1. Why the hell should the world name a pope based on US history? |

You are aware of the HUGE catholic population outside of the US right?

4. Americans don't matter |
|
American Catholics make up about 6% of all Catholics. So I don't think that name was a concern. :hi:

6. He doesn't give a sh*t about America |
|
The US cardinals were trying to form a bloc to block him, if I'm not mistaken.
Gawd, I wish they coulda done it.
I feel like Salieri in Amadeus when he puts the crucifix in the fire. "Now... we are enemies... you and I..."
